Multilingualism
The history of Imprimerie Centrale is closely linked to that of the European institutions. Originally, IC worked in the 4 official languages of the European Union. We adapted as the European Union expanded and as we were awarded contracts from the United Nations, now handling more than 30 languages on a daily basis. -
Proofreading
We provide proofreading, copy-editing, synoptic verification and translation services. Upon request, we also offer copywriting services in the language of your choice. -
Know-how
Working with 30 different languages on a daily basis requires the mastery of 4 different alphabets (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Arab), of ideograms (Japanese and Chinese, among others) and of 3 different writing directions, as well as the corresponding imposition techniques. -
Native speakers
All of the projects we handle are carried out and checked by native speakers. We have established a network of excellent proofreaders, translators and freelance copywriters with whom we regularly work.
